OK, Prof. Thanks for such a precise answer, especially when it's my fault...

I just was reading a transcript with Dogh'd and he translated the word "entire" to "stallion"?

Those crazy goofs at Princeton! They have some strange ideas with WordNet.

I just stopped two-word verbs from coming up as random verbs. So that means no more "go outing". It will simply be "going".

Just to be pedantic for a second: "whole" is used by animal-breeding folks to mean "uncastrated" or "unfixed" hence "entire" hence "stallion" as opposed to "gelding". Dogh'd has a lot of education for a bar tender. Don't we all...

A glitch with the language centre (okay, center)...I can add new key words but can't get at any of the other stuff to change or add context. Is this just me? (it's just today, for sure).

jbryanc, do you put canadadian and us spelling in you keywords to make sure they're picked up? I use the "goto" function for keywords like "colour" (response: "goto color") just to be safe. Just wondering...

jbryanc- it looks like it's working now.

This is funny. I just noticed it in a transcript:

bot1: Certainly not. When I was 7, I had an imaginary friend. I named him lividity. He was expendable at first, but when I turned 13, he got very gleeful and I had to travel to him.
bot2: The answer is 91

note that there is an "x" in "expendable, positioned between 7 and 13.

I was just chatting with my bot and got "(a-noun)" in a reply on a xnone that usually works.

Sir Rahz--Ive done a little experimenting with American and Canadian spelling recognition but not enough to be an expert. Sometimes the recognition seems to be built-in, other times it seems to work only one way.

Hello now...

User: 1 + 1 = 2.
Bot: The answer is 13.

Jbryanc, I've seen favorite and favourite in WordNet, but I dont know if all alternative spellings are in there.

rex- Hmm.. I'll look into it when I next get a chance.

Crab- equals is ignored.. so you get 1+12. I suppose the presence of equals means it's more like a true/false question.. The response could be "That's right true." or "Go back to school, child of the moon!"
